Narrative of the Śūdra’s Renunciation of Greed
with the Tulādhāra Greatness Prelude
विमानेन दिवं गच्छ सकुटुंबो महामुने । मत्प्रसादाच्च युष्माकं सदैव नवयौवनम्
vimānena divaṃ gaccha sakuṭuṃbo mahāmune | matprasādācca yuṣmākaṃ sadaiva navayauvanam
Oh gran sabio, ve al cielo en un vimāna celestial junto con tu familia. Por mi gracia, para vosotros habrá siempre juventud renovada.
Unspecified (a divine bestower of boons addressing a sage)
Concept: Divine grace can elevate not only the individual but the family line; righteous conduct yields tangible ‘heavenly’ results.
Application: See blessings as stewardship: use prosperity and ‘youth’ (health/energy) for dharma and service rather than indulgence.
